Your pedicure, step by step
A classic pedicure takes about 45 minutes. Here is each step and the time it takes.
- 01
Step 1: Soak
Your feet go into a warm basin with a fresh liner. Sit back; this is the quiet part. About 10 minutes.
- 02
Step 2: Shape and file
Nails are trimmed and shaped, cuticles tidied, and the feet filed and buffed with a file and pumice. About 15 minutes.
- 03
Step 3: Massage
Warm lotion and a foot and lower-leg massage, as long or as short as you like. About 10 minutes.
- 04
Step 4: Polish
Pick a color from the wall. Two coats and a top coat, or gel cured under the lamp. About 10 minutes.
Make it longer
Add a scrub or a warm wax wrap
The spa pedicure adds both to the classic steps, and you can add either one to any pedicure.
A sugar scrub goes on before the massage. The warm wax wrap comes after it: a layer of wax over the feet, wrapped in a towel while you rest. Each adds about 10 minutes, and we tell you before we start.
Sugar scrub, 10 min
Warm wax wrap, 10 min
Longer foot massage, 10 min
Before you sit down
Three things to tell us
It takes a minute at the chair desk, and it keeps the visit comfortable.
Your feet
A cut, a sore, swelling or an infection on your feet or legs. If you have diabetes, check with your doctor before a pedicure.
Your nails
Whether your nails were done somewhere else. Book removal first, and please don't pull off gel yourself.
Your products
If you have reacted to a nail product before. We may ask you to see your doctor first and will gladly rebook you.
